Samsung wants to push HBM3 to the high end of the market and adapt the technology to serve lower-cost segments more effectively. Combined, the two approaches could revolutionize memory bandwidth in the next few years.

Now the company has actually demonstrated an 8-core, 16-thread Summit Ridge system — and is showing it outperforming an Intel Broadwell-E processor, at least in certain applications, at the same clock speed.

For years, various laptop manufacturers and OEMs have tried to push external graphics chassis into the mainstream, with little success. It looks like Razer and AMD have partnered up to make another go of it — but this time, they’re working with established standards across the board.

AMD has launched a new APU and CPU to top off its Godavari refresh cycle and nudge clock speeds up a little higher. Both chips also ship with refreshed coolers with 125W TDP ratings and quieter operating ranges.
